My father and I are headed to Peru at the end of August and we welcome your thoughts, suggestions, warnings, recommendations, "don't miss," "don't waste your time," etc., etc.

This is a "pilgrimage" trip for Dad in his 80th year (he will actually celebrate his birthday in Malaga on the Voyager crossing!). Checking off another of his "must see" sights/experiences.

Our itinerary devleoped with Susan Walsh and booked via Ker & Downey is:

Aug 30 -- Sacred Valley (2 nights at Casa Andina)
Sept 1 -- Train to Machu Picchu (2 nights at MP Sanctuary Lodge)
Sept 3 -- MP, then afternoon train to Cuzco (3 nights at Hotel Monasterio)
Sept 6 -- back to Dallas

The plans have been in place for months (thanks again, Susan), but now it's time for logistics like weather, clothing, luggage limits, insect repellant, etc.

Thanks in advance.
